Nice photos, but the aspect ratio is wrong. Your camera produces pictures in a 4:3 ratio probably (800x600, 1600x1200, etc), but these pictures have been laterally compressed to be square.

Here's your pic of the hybrid -

Here's what it looks like when you restore the 4:3 aspect ratio -

You might double check how you are resizing your pics. Make sure what ever method you use maintains the correct proportions or aspect ratio.

It was 600x600 as you posted it -

I resized it to 600x450 and now the snake looks right, IMHO -

Notice I didn't crop it - the whole picture is still there, I just reduced the vertical stretch of the photo which makes it look more correct to me.

I use paint shop pro to resize....and for whatever reason kingsnake wont let me resize them correctly and be able to post them. Its says that the pics are over the size limit. Its something that I have tried to figure out myself but must just be over my head. Any suggestions is appriecated

I haven't used paint shop pro in years, but the general steps are the same.

1. open the picture.
2. resize the photo using PSP, but make sure you check the "constrain proportions" or whatever the box says. If that isn't an option, get a calculator and figure out the correct aspect ratio.
3. Save the file as a new jpg. Set the compression to somewhere in the medium range (I use setting 7 out of 12 in Photoshop). Saving it with higher resolution/lower compression is a waste of time and space on the web.

Usually you want a picture that is less than 700 pixels wide so people can see it onscreen. I generally like to use 600x400 or 600x450, depending on the aspect ratio of the original picture.
